DONE DEAL: new york knicks Sign bilal coulibaly from washington wizards, …
At just 20 years old, following a promising rookie season in the NBA with the Washington Wizards, Bilal Coulibaly was the youngest member selected to Team France’s preliminary basketball roster for Paris 2024. He aspires to represent his country on their home soil at the Games and possesses the talent to make that dream a reality.
Standing at 6-foot-8 (2.03m), Coulibaly is an elite defender who utilizes his impressive wingspan to get into passing lanes and block shots at the rim. He pairs this length with impressive foot speed and agility, wreaking havoc on opposing offenses.
While a lot of attention will understandably fall on his former teammate, Victor Wembanyama, the Wizards’ forward could be pivotal to France’s success this summer following a silver medal at Tokyo 2020.
As National Olympic Committees have the exclusive authority for the representation of their respective countries at the Olympic Games, athletes’ participation at the Paris Games depends on their NOC selecting them to represent their delegation at Paris 2024.
